Heat milk in a sauce pan over a low to medium flame. Once milk is hot, turn off flame. Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, Chinese Five Spice, Sea Salt, sugar if desired, and whisk until everything is completely dissolved. Pour into a mug and enjoy!

Tip #1: Turn this into a dessert drink by topping with marshmallows for a traditional hot cocoa, or try adding fresh mint, crunchy toffee crumbles and whipped cream. Yum!
